From Blood Sucking Geek to C@K Sucking Geek: Stephen Geoffreys

You guys recall Stephen Geoffreys, don't you? Sure you do! He was in a handful of films back in the 80's including , Heaven Help Us, 976-Evil, At Close Range, and a little movie called Fright Night.

Fans of Fright Night, all fondly recall the super geek, Evil Ed, who uttered the classic line, "Oh, you're so COOL, Brewster!" And who amongst us did not dab at a tear when Ed morphed into a wolf and ran afoul of Peter Vincent's (Roddy McDowell) thick stake that brought him down?

So whatever became of the impish Geoffrey's, you ask? Sure, he managed to appear in a few other films after Fright Night, several of them A-list, and a few of them horror themed...

... but he seemed to disappear sometime around 1991.

So, where did he go?

Oddly enough, Stephen Geoffreys left mainstream show business and found himself appearing in gay porn!

One might forgive a cinematic indiscretion on anyone's part - there are rumors that people like Sylvester Stallone, Barbra Streisandand even Chuck Connors appeared in stag films early in their career - and maybe that's to be expected, one has to make ends meet however one can; but what sends a young actor from legitimate show biz to the world of skin flicks? I don't know, and I've yet to read anything but speculation about this career change. There was even a rumor going around that it was not Geoffrey's appearing in the porn films, but his brother - those rumors have proved false, as ,apparently, the actor has admitted to doing porn (using the noms de porns, Sam Ritter and Stephan Bordeaux).

Lest you think these movies in question were innocent little sex comedies with a touch of bare ass thrown in, let's take a look at some of the titles:

Nope, nothing subtle here, kids. And according to IMDB, there are at least twenty five other titles that feature Geoffrey's talents.

Despite what F. Scott Fitzgerald alleged, it would seem that Stephen Geoffrey's not only got his second act, but pretty much is working on his third; In 2007 he scored a small role in the underground horror flick, Sick Girl, and currently he has as many as three other mainstream films in production. I have no idea what drove him to porn - maybe the legitimate acting jobs dried up, perhaps he had a drug habit, or, who knows, possibly he might have always wanted to make dirty movies - who the fuck am I to judge?

I for one hope he writes a juicy biography and gives us the whole story as to what happened.

Yeah, I always thought it was strange that he went from being a bit of a horror icon to doing porn. It's too bad, he had a good little career going for him, and I love 976-EVIL and of course, Fright Night. Maybe he can make a cum back, but he's old and rapey looking now, not the same kid he was in the 80's.

My biggest question has always been whether he is proud of the work or ashamed that fans found out about it. Itd be nice is he just came forward to clear the air and open up to fans, I cant see anyone holding it against him either way

About This Blog

I love horror films, been watching them all of my life.
As a gay man, I've come to note the more homo-erotic subtext in many of these films. From the obvious in films like, Interview With the Vampire, to the more subtle in movies like, Scream.
So, what I intend to do with this blog, is, from time to time, highlight a movie that is both scary as well as sensual,(or just plain campy) provided those elements are borne of gay or lesbian sensibilities.
